Check out Sonos’ refurbished site. I was able to get an arc for US$520. Very much worth it at that price point. Great refurbished product.

I missed out on that deal last year. Was very tempted but it sold out before I could order. Haven't seen that price come up since. The refurbished Arc currently is the same exact price as the new one right now at $719.
 
I just had a Roam brick itself outside the warranty period by two months. Sonos remediation, a 30% coupon. I'd bought two thinking I could have a stereo pair while remote camping. Nope, not only do you need Wi-Fi, but also internet access to check in with the Sonos mothership. Perfect for a 'mobile' device. Roam was my first Sonos purchase and will be my last.

I probably can call myself audiophile (semi?) but I also purchased an Arc to use like a deluxe HomePod (sans walled garden limitations) in another room. I have to admit, it is really impressive. It sounds surprisingly good- much better than I expected from any soundbar at any price.

I wouldn't dump a traditional receiver and dedicated speakers setup in a main home theater room for it... but I can vouch that anyone wanting to do that will likely be impressed with Arc. Do searches for independent reviews and it generally ranks FIRST or close to it for best sound and/or best soundbar.

Bonus: Sonos has long since perfected surround sound support. So if one wants to add a sub, they have a sub and it will "just work" if added. If one wants rear surround speakers, they have that and they too will "just work" for true surround.

Apple Bonus: it works with Apple Music and Airplay 2 and the HP smarts already exist within iDevices, Macs and AppleTV... so anyone on the fence between HP or Sonos can basically have their cake and eat it too (just sub in your other Apple tech as the "smarts" part).

Beyond Apple bonus: it is nowhere near as locked down as HPs, so it just as readily works with all kinds of other services (without having to lean on an Airplay 2 workaround) and can have a direct connection from a receiver or similar so that a speaker system built around this platform can readily work with any source of audio: game consoles, cable/satt, over the air antenna, camcorder, non-Apple tech, BD/DVD/CD players, even ancient stuff like a VCR and similar.

Sonos states clearly on their Roam product page that stereo pairs require Wifi. Not sure why this was a surprise to you. The device does not check in with the mothership when using Bluetooth either.

I've been a Sonos customer for 15 years now. No one does whole home audio as well as they do. Their support for multiple music and audio services is unmatched as well. Last year I added an Arc to my system and it is most impressive for a sound bar, especially when paired with a sub. I used to hope that Apple would buy Sonos, but seeing how Apple wants to lock everything down now, I'm glad Sonos has stayed independent. It's highly unlikely that Apple would support 30+ different music/audio services if they owned Sonos.

Yes, the right product for purposes like camping away from Wifi would have been Move (leaning on Bluetooth in that scenario)... which I also have myself and it also sounds surprisingly good.

Right with you on all points made. It seems like a natural acquisition for Apple- they are so Apple-like in so many ways- but I appreciate their great focus on this ONE category and their commitment to work with everything.

They raised listing price first here in The Netherlands before the 25% discount announcement...
Other than that, I do like their stuff a lot.

Seriously considering the Move. Sound is comparable to a One, right? I've got a couple mini's that I use on my balcony I might like to replace them with.
 
I have Move but I don't have Ones. I have thoroughly compared Move to HPs and I favor Move on sound, setting aside the much more open nature of Sonos, works with everything, etc. Based on price, it SHOULD be better because it costs more. It is also physically bigger. With a big battery built in, it also has some heft to it.

It's great to use it much like anyone else uses HPs- I just order Siri on Mac or iDevice and/or select it from the Music app or as an Airplay target.

I really like it. Head for a Best Buy or similar. They usually have one on display. Put some favorite music on your iDevice and go play your favorites via Bluetooth on it to hear with your own ears. Nothing beats a live demo... except when it is at home afterwards, linked via wifi, minus all of the Best Buy background noise.

Purchased a Sonos Beam (gen. 2). Excellent soundbar especially given its small dimensions. It's my first Sonos product and very likely not going to be the last.

It integrated in HomeKit but I didn't play with the HomeKit features yet.
 
Costco has an * on the price. Usually means a discontinued or no longer carried product. Costco has a good track record with Sonos. I am leaning towards a discontinued product.
